On Wednesday, CAS released a statement to confirm that, "The application field by Vinesh Phogat on August 7 has been dismissed." Speaking to ANI, Vidushpat said that the CAS has not cited a reason why has it been dismissed her appeal. He further added that CAS's decision can be appealed against at the <keyword id="22260367" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Swiss-Federal-Tribunal" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Swiss Federal Tribunal" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Swiss Federal Tribunal">Swiss Federal Tribunal</keyword> within 30 days. "No detailed order has come yet. Only a single-line order has come so far that her appeal has been dismissed. They have not cited a reason why has it been dismissed or why did they take so much time...We were both surprised and disappointed that a decision came last evening and her appeal was dismissed. We hope that the detailed order will come in 10-15 days. CAS decision can be appealed against at the Swiss Federal Tribunal within 30 days. The 30-day time will begin after a detailed order comes. Harish Salve is with us, he will guide us. We will sit with him, draft an appeal and file it," Vidushpat said. According to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), the verdict was originally scheduled for Tuesday, August 13 at 9:30 pm IST, but was delayed to August 16. However, the decision was announced on Wednesday. Vinesh was set to face Sarah Ann Hildebrandt of the United States for the gold medal on August 7. She was disqualified before the women's 50kg final after exceeding the 50kg weight limit before the final on August 7. During the weigh-in, she was found to be 100 grams over the limit. Following her disqualification, Vinesh appealed to award her the silver medal in the 50kg weight category. On August 8, Vinesh penned an emotional to announce her decision to retire from wrestling. "Maa kushti (wrestling) won against me, I lost. Forgive me, your dream and my courage have been broken. I don't have any more strength now. Goodbye Wrestling 2001-2024. I will always be indebted to you all for forgiveness," Phogat said in her post.

CAS issued a statement, saying, "The application filed by Vinesh Phogat on August 7 has been dismissed," as per the agency reports. Vinesh Phogat was found to be 100 grams over the limit during the weigh-in prior to the women's 50kg final, leading to her disqualification. She was set to compete against Sarah Ann Hildebrandt of the United States for the gold medal. After her disqualification, 29-year-old Phogat requested the CAS on August 7 to award her the silver medal instead. The <keyword id="19896477" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Olympic-Association" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Indian Olympic Association" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Indian Olympic Association">Indian Olympic Association</keyword> (IOA) initially announced that the verdict would be given on Tuesday, August 13 at 9:30 pm IST. However, it was delayed to August 16. Harish Salve, a renowned Indian lawyer and former Solicitor General of India and King's Counsel, represented the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) in this landmark case. Before her disqualification, Vinesh had reached the gold medal match by defeating Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez 5-0 in the semi-finals. The decision came as a blow to Phogat, who, following her disqualification, made a shocking decision to retire from wrestling altogether. In an emotional post on X, Phogat expressed her sense of defeat and gratitude, stating, "Maa kushti (wrestling) won against me, I lost. Forgive me, your dream and my courage have been broken. I don't have any more strength now. Goodbye Wrestling 2001-2024. I will always be indebted to you all for forgiveness." Earlier this week, Wrestling Federation of India Vice-President Jai Prakash Chaudhary hoped that the decision will come in favour of the athlete. However, despite a strong case presented by the IOA, the appeal has reportedly been dismissed. The entire episode led to many sportspersons coming out in support of Phogat, while some criticized the IOA officials for the athlete's failure to meet the weight requirements. However, IOA President PT Usha on Sunday clarified that the responsibility of weight management of athletes in sports like wrestling, weightlifting, boxing and judo is that of each athlete and his or her coach.

Vinesh Phogat's silver hopes dashed! CAS dismisses Indian wrestler's plea for silver medal at Paris Olympics 2024

Celebrated wrestler <keyword id="19895499" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vinesh-Phogat" source="keywords">Vinesh Phogat</keyword> on Saturday received a grand welcome on her return to the country with hundreds of supporters gathering outside the <keyword id="20219207" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IGI-airport" source="keywords">IGI airport</keyword>, showing immense solidarity with her.

Heavily garlanded, Vinesh stood in an open Jeep and thanked all the supporters."I thank the entire country," she said, her hands folded in humility. There was a thick security cover as Phogat, who was found 100 grams overweight just before the Olympic finals, landed in the national capital. Vinesh's caravan left for her native village Balali in Haryana, and on the way she met her supporters, positioned at different spots. A group of 50 followed her jeep. They offered prayers at a temple in Delhi's Dwarka before continuing their journey towards Balali. Vinesh had stayed back in Paris after challenging her disqualification in the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and demanding a joint silver. The application was dismissed on Wednesday. "She has come back to her country after such a long time. She is very emotional also. She will spend time with family and calm herself. What Vinesh has done for women is praiseworthy. She might not have received a medal, but she is a champion for us," said Sakshi Malik. London Olympics bronze medal-winning shooter Gagan Narang, who was the chief de mission of the Indian contingent in Paris, called her a champion, posting a photo with Phogat at the Paris airport. Both of them were on the same flight to Delhi. "People are waiting to welcome her at our village. People are exciting to meet Vinesh and encourage her," her brother, Harvinder Phogat said. The feisty wrestler, in her first reaction after her disqualification, on Saturday said that under "different circumstances" she could see herself competing till 2032 because she still has a lot of wrestling left in her, but is now unsure about her future as things "might never be same again". Vinesh had announced her retirement from the sport after her disqualification. In an emotional post on social media, Vinesh shared her childhood dream, the hardships she faced after losing her father and also put on record the contribution made by people in her extraordinary journey that ended in heartbreak in Paris.

"The Badminton World Federation can confirm India's Tokyo 2020 Paralympic champion Pramod <keyword id="20315592" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhagat" source="keywords">Bhagat</keyword> has been suspended for a period of 18 months and will miss the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games," the governing body said in a statement on Tuesday. "In 1 March 2024, the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) Anti-Doping Division found Bhagat in breach of the BWF anti-doping regulations for committing three whereabouts failures within 12 months." The 36-year-old, an SL3 athlete, had appealed this decision to the CAS Appeals Division but it was rejected last month. "On 29 July 2024, the CAS Appeals Division dismissed the Bhagat's appeal and confirmed the CAS Anti-Doping Division decision of 1 March 2024. His period of ineligibility is now in effect," the statement added. His suspension is effective till September 1, 2025. Bhagat had won a gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics in men's singles SL3 category, beating Daniel Bethell of Great Britain in the final. The 36-year-old Bihar-born shuttler had equalled the legendary Lin Dan of China by winning a fifth World Championships title in February last year at Pattaya, Thailand. "It is extremely sad and unfortunate. He was a sure shot medal for India at the Paralympics but he is a fighter and I am sure he will come back stronger," Indian para-badminton head coach Gaurav Khanna told PTI. Bhagat, who had contracted polio, resulting in a disability affecting his left leg at the age of five, is also a two-time Asian Games gold-medallist and is the current world No 3 in his category.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A messy dispute over Olympic bronze has roiled women's gymnastics.</li><li>After a stunning result at the Paris Olympics, a court ruled US gymnast Jordan Chiles must relinquish her medal.</li></ul>A <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jordan-chiles-loses-olympic-bronze-after-scoring-appeal-is-overturned-2024-8">contentious judging decision and messy appeals process</a> has roiled women's gymnastics — and spiraled into an international argument for Olympic bronze between the US and Romania.At the center: American gymnast Jordan Chiles and Romanian gymnast Ana Bărbosu, whose razor-thin fight for an Olympic medal has already blow up into threats of legal action and vows for "justice."The drama kicked off last Monday during the floor exercise in Paris.Initially, Chiles finished fifth with a score of 13.666. But after her coach filed an inquiry, arguing Chiles should've been awarded more difficulty points, her score was upped to 13.766 — enough to net bronze.The stunning about-face <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAvrnZdw1sE">unfolded in real time</a>. Bărbosu, who'd been awarded bronze before the inquiry, looked up at the scoreboard mid-celebration to see that she'd been dethroned. She dropped her Romanian flag and rushed off in tears.Chiles, meanwhile, fell to the floor in tears, hugging her coach Cecile Landi and teammate Simone Biles before receiving her medal on the podium.And the shocking switch may not have been the only scoring error. Bărbosu's teammate, Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, scored 13.700 in her routine after she was deducted .1 points for stepping out of bounds. But replays later appeared to show that Maneca-Voinea's foot didn't go out and the gymnast has since asserted she didn't go out of bounds.But Maneca-Voinea's coach didn't asked for a review that day.<h2 id="67b6dd01-30d5-4876-85cb-9d481d109dc8">The medals were reordered after Landi's challenge was deemed too late</h2>Chiles' triumph was short-lived.The Romanian Gymnastics Federation and two of its gymnasts filed a challenge to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), arguing that Landi's inquiry on Chiles' behalf was levied too late.After a hearing, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tas-cas.org/fileadmin/user_upload/CAS_Media_Release_ParisOG_15-16.pdf">CAS determined Saturday</a> that the US challenge had come after the one-minute cutoff, so Chiles' score was reset lower, dropping her off the podium.CAS dismissed a separate appeal over Maneca-Voinea's deduction.<div type="image" title="Ana Barbosu looks at the score change on the stadium screen, with her mouth wide open and hands on her stomach." height="683" width="911" msid="112505366" hostid="261" sizebytes="37456"></div>The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gymnastics.sport/site/news/displaynews.php?urlNews=4268100">then amended</a> the order of the medals to reflect the CAS ruling, with Bărbosu reclaiming bronze.

On Monday, USA Gymnastics <a target="_blank" href="https://usagym.org/statement-from-usa-gymnastics-on-cas-notice/">said</a> it had been notified that CAS' decision was final — even in the face of "conclusive new evidence."<div type="image" title="Jordan Chiles wearing a blue jacket on the podium, holding up her bronze medal and smiling." height="680" width="907" msid="112505365" hostid="261" sizebytes="59904"></div>According to <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/12/sport/jordan-chiles-bronze-olympics-controversy-explained/index.html">CNN,</a> CAS said in a statement that the USA and Romania "had ample opportunities to present their arguments and objections" during the hearing on Saturday.CAS said the Swiss Federal Tribunal could reopen the case if new evidence emerges or all parties agree, CNN reported.USA Gymnastics vowed Monday to "continue to pursue every possible avenue and appeal process, including to the Swiss Federal Tribunal."Chiles' US gymnastics teammates backed her up."Sending you so much love, Jordan," Biles wrote in an Instagram Story post. "Keep your chin up Olympic champ! We love you!"Fellow gymnast Suni Lee also criticized the judges in her own Instagram post."All this talk about the athlete, what about the judges??" Lee wrote. "Completely unacceptable. This is awful and I'm gutted for Jordan. I got your back forever Jo."Meanwhile, Bărbosu reportedly praised her competition in her own Instagram post. "Sabrina, Jordan, my thoughts are with you. But I know you'll come back stronger," she wrote in an Instagram story over the weekend. "I hope from deep of my heart that at the next Olympics, all three of us will share the same podium. This is my true dream." USA Gymnastics declined to comment beyond the statements on its website. Reps for Chiles and CAS did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Business Insider.

The support wants supportThere's another uprising on Wall Street.Client associates at Merrill Lynch are fed up with what they feel is an overwhelming amount of work, a lack of WFH flexibility, and disappointing compensation, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-merrill-lynch-wealth-client-associates-burn-out-2022-10">according to a new Insider report</a>. For the unfamiliar, client associates (CAs) essentially do financial advisors' dirty work. From checking in with clients to scheduling meetings and opening and onboarding new accounts, CAs are a crucial, albeit largely unseen part of the firm.And at Merrill Lynch, which oversees $2.7 trillion in assets, there is plenty of dirty work that falls to the 6,500 CAs. "In their rah-rah emails, it's like: 'Oh, you guys are really the ones who run the business!' But we're not treated that way, and we're not stupid," <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-merrill-lynch-wealth-client-associates-burn-out-2022-10">an associate who recently left the firm told Insider</a>. "So those words mean nothing to us."It's only natural to draw comparisons between the CAs and another behind-the-scenes group that recently felt dismissed and underappreciated: junior bankers.Investment banking analysts <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wall-street-junior-investment-bankers-burnt-out-demoralized-pandemic-2021-3">voiced similar concerns</a> over <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/junior-investment-bankers-confessions-own-words-goldman-credit-suisse-bmo-2021-3">feeling burnt out</a> and underpaid.

Whether Merrill's CAs can elicit a better, more sustainable, response to their queries remains to be seen. But it's important to remember that we're a long way away from the spring of 2021, when Wall Street was making money hand over fist. As the economy continues to barrel toward a recession, financial firms might be less receptive to the complaints of those unsung heroes, no matter how valid their complaints may be.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/bank-of-america-merrill-lynch-wealth-client-associates-burn-out-2022-10">Click here to read more about why Merrill's support staff is so fed up.</a><hr />In other news:<a href="https://www.insider.com/how-the-rock-got-jacked-black-adam-meal-plans-workouts-2022-10"></a><div type="image" title="Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam." height="1000" width="1333" msid="95099939" hostid="261"></div>2.

Ms. Richardson accepted a one month period of ineligibility which began on June 28."I would suggest that there isn't a great deal of similarity between the two cases."Adams added the ruling by CAS was solely on her Valieva's continued participation in Beijing and that she could still be banned from competition over the failed test in the coming weeks."There will be an asterisk about the results on Friday because they will be preliminary," said Adams. "This case has not yet concluded and the CAS have made that very clear. In fact as far as I know, the B sample hasn't even been opened, so I think drawing conclusions like this at this stage is really inappropriate."<div type="image" title="Kamila Valieva of the Russian Olympic Committee warms up before the event." height="852" width="1704" msid="89617224" hostid="261"></div><a href="https://www.insider.com/kamila-valieva-figure-skating-doping-test-finishes-first-olympics-2022-2">The IOC also announced on Monday</a> that Valieva won't be able to collect any medals until her case is fully resolved.The youngster has already won gold in the <a href="https://www.insider.com/russian-figure-skater-first-woman-to-land-quad-jump-olympics-2022-2">team figure skating team event competition</a> and is <a href="https://www.insider.com/kamila-valieva-figure-skating-doping-test-finishes-first-olympics-2022-2">currently in the lead in the women's singles figure skating competition,</a> which concludes on Friday.The medal ceremony for the team event competition, which came a day before Valieva's positive test was revealed, was delayed because of the saga, while the ceremony for the singles figure skating will be cancelled if Valieva — as expected — finishes in the top three.

Macron toured the devastated Champs-Elysee and the Arch de Triomphe, shattered glass and shop fronts, roads ripped up, the shells of burned out cas and perhaps hardest for the president to see - graffiti on the walls of the Arch de Triomph denouncing the presidency. <h2>Inside was even worse</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c04ae70985cfd3e461ecbb6-1777/paris demo face.jpg" border="0" alt="paris demo face" data-mce-source="ELYXANDRO CEGARRA/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images" data-mce-caption="PARIS, FRANCE - DECEMBER 01: A vandalizes statue of the Marianne, a symbol in France, seen inside the Arc de Triomphe, as protesters wearing yellow vests (gilets jaunes) entered the Arc de Triomphe monument during clashes with riot police as part of a demonstration over high fuel prices on the Champs Elysee in Paris, France, 01 December 2018." />ELYXANDRO CEGARRA/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesA vandalizes statue of the Marianne, a symbol in France, seen inside the Arc de Triomphe, as protesters wearing yellow vests (gilets jaunes) entered the Arc de Triomphe monument during clashes with riot police as part of a demonstration over high fuel prices on the Champs Elysee in Paris, France, 01 December 2018.</div></div></div>The damage inside the monument was even worse.The statue of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marianne">Marianne</a>, a symbol of French freedom and Resistance was reportedly hacked at and vandalized by the gilets jaunes who entered the Arc de Triomphe monument during clashes with riot police on Saturday night.According to Europe 1, government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux had earlier volunteered that the government could impose a state of emergency on Sunday.By the time Macron landed in Charles de Gaulle Aeroport, more than 400 people had been taken into custody.It is thought the cost of the rioting, the worst in Paris since 1968, may already be in the hundreds of millions of euros.The damage to the French state is almost certainly worse.Macron has found himself increasingly isolated at home, tied up with world events and negligent, even arrogant in his dismissal of the issues that confront people everyday in France.In an <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/in-france-the-pain-behind-the-yellow-vest-protests-is-felt-mostly-outside-paris/2018/11/30/9b3db7c2-f18a-11e8-99c2-cfca6fcf610c_story.html?noredirect=on&amp;utm_term=.587c690b48c1">interview with the Washington Post</a> on Friday, a Yves Rollet from Bsancon called Macron "President of the Rich."Unemployment remains high, most notably among the young who face more than 20% unemployment in many regional areas of France. And France is a nation divided. Not just by race, but by class and by generation. Some, like the Gilet Jaune, feel they have nothing mush to lose.A dozen cars were set on fire, buildings were torched, tear gas was fired and water cannons were deployed in the French capital on Saturday.The situation escalated quickly with some of the 1,500 protesters ripping cobblestones off the paved road to throw at police officers. Police wrestled control of the area shortly after lunchtime but groups of men then roamed central Paris, leaving wrecked cars and destruction behind them, <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2018/12/02/france-to-consider-state-of-emergency-to-prevent-riots-after-yellow-vest-protest">Euro News reported</a>.Should a state of emergency be declared, it would be the first time since the 2015 terror attacks, according to Euro News.<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/5c04adb4d18a293f736dc355-1600/paris demo arch.jpg" border="0" alt="paris demo arch" data-mce-source="ELYXANDRO CEGARRA/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images" data-mce-caption="PARIS, FRANCE - DECEMBER 01: Yellow vest protesters clash with riot police as part of demonstration against rising fuel taxes near Arc de triomphe de l'Etoile in Paris, France on December 01, 2018." />ELYXANDRO CEGARRA/Anadolu Agency/Getty ImagesYellow vest protesters clash with riot police as part of demonstration against rising fuel taxes near Arc de Triomphe de l'Etoile in Paris, France on December 01, 2018.</div></div></div> <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nuclear-bomb-launch-procedure-us-government-president-2017-11">Here's how easy it is for the US president to launch a nuclear weapon</a></h3> <div> <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/sZtYltl6-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script> </div> </div>
